am I the only one who feels that Vendetta is getting laggier? well, not even constant lag, but more jittery, so people skip and hop and shots appear far from ships now and then in combat.

I play from two pipes, one is 2.4Mbit SDSL (2.4Mbit both ways then) , the other is a 100Mbit interface to one of the central Internet backbone in Norway. ping is 148 for the first one, 130 for the second one, very consistantly. I've tested both lines rather heavily, but not found anything really wrong.

but, it's like a few nights ago. I duelled the same person around 12 times or so, and it was really weird. in one Sector I'd loose, in another I'd win. consistently. in Sedina B8 my opponent saw _one_ of the rail shots that hit, all the others just removed the armor without being visible. last night I hit a target but it took almost two seconds for the armor to go down and the "you hit me sound" to play. the same player had AGT fire that appeared around 50M from his ship at all times, often in a different direction than what his ship was pointing.

I don't really mind dying much, but it's kinda weird when so many fights are more and more related to lag or jitter than anything else.

some people (geographically in very different places) I talked to shared the issue, and use rockets to "fix the issue" so proximity takes care of the jitter. still, I find it really weird, am I'm getting a lot more sensitive or is this something other people are seeing too?

It could be because of your location. Maybe the devs will be working on fixing on lag related to that. Some kinda of thing to make up for the package loss(i think thats what's causing lag) or something else. Any might i say that 2.4Mbit SDSL is very VERY nice(upload wise that is). I have a cable 4.0Mbit connection but its not full duplex, not even half-duplex(full or half of the download speed respectively). So, it seems your lags is due to your connection, devs any comments?

this is just a guess, but it may be that the servers have accumulated enough random things they have to keep track of (the cap ship, everyone's personal fleet of ships in storage, npc traders, etc.) that it is finay more than the server can handle.

personaly i havn't noticed much lag, but i usualy stay out of the dueling sectors. maybee there are just too many players in one place.

Actually, it's a bug with one particular server with Conexiant (sp?) or Cogent or somesuch, their ISP. It only affects some people. Really, bandwidth doesn't matter. This game uses <1KB/s. Just as a comparison, I get about 40ms ping with a 400KB/30KB (yes kilobytes, not kilobits) pipe.

I'm having trouble with cogentco....

Baaad Lag at times...

silly me, I should have checked. I'm from Europe, and I pass through the cogentco network on my way to our beloved servers, I should have checked that of course.

sigh. this explains way too much.

I'll go and join the depressed gang then.

It's not only European connections that go through Cogent, I'm in the western USA and my route to the game server goes through Cogent as well. And while my ping is definitely still very much playable, it has been noticably higher for a few weeks or so now.

Hopefully European peering providers are a little more willing to look at and fix issues than some North American peering folks I've had to deal with.

If I had to choose between double bypass surgery and dealing with AT&T and Bell... well, I'll see you in the OR.

I live in western Florida, and I too have higher than normal ping, when patch 1.1.9.1, my ping use to be 15/21/0, and sence than I have any where between 123/231/0 to if I tey to bot 342/534/142. so I just dont bot. I dont think it is me, my kids play other games on-line and they have no lag while playing them. I thought may be if I reinstall the game that it might help, still pondering it.

Syberfly Out.

I live for the One, I die for the One.
